The Urban Tales is an alternative rock band from Tel Aviv, Israel that tells about life in the big city as a coming-of-age story. On the brink of their anticipated debut EP Two Pigeons in Straitjackets, the band share the blissful indie-rock dazzler “Hospital”, which is fun-filled, light-hearted yet understatedly hard-hitting and bold. They wanted to create the concept of being locked inside a psychiatric ward and transform it into a funny and grotesque musical, just like “The Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance which is also a huge inspiration for writing the song.

They have done it so eloquently and it’s brilliantly executed, by a band who have no boundaries sonically. You could hear “Hospital” as part of a ’90s rom-com film whilst also instilling it in the modern day, with the personality and vigour of The Urban Tales shining through in this euphoric indie pop-punk offering.

They say: “It’s about having an imperfect balance between sanity and insanity, and finding the brighter sides of it. It’s a twisted and wicked musical that’s occurring in a psychiatric ward.” It’s safe to say that you’ll be swept up with the raucous energy of The Urban Tales, as they set themselves to be the benchmark outfit in their homeland of Israel and beyond. ‘Hospital’ is a song for the ages, and that’s what makes this band such an intriguing and one-of-a-kind listen.

Butch Dawson’s verse adds grit and urgency, balancing Mvss’ introspection with hard-hitting truths. His intricate wordplay and raw energy amplify the song’s impact, delivering lines like, “It’s a maze, but I never stress.” Together, they craft an anthem that’s equal parts empowering and confrontational, showcasing a synergy that feels both effortless and electric. As a preview of Mvss’ upcoming EP, Revolt, “Fundamental” is a statement piece, proving that hip-hop can be both deeply personal and powerfully universal.
